I am getting confused about the rear brake drum. I am going to replace all the shoes and drums on my car. It is a 1973 Dodge Dart 4 door, with slant 6 and an 904 trans. I have powered disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. Axle is 7 1/4 and have LBP all around.
I want to order new drums, on the O'reilley site, they have 2 drums available an 9" and 10", 9" is SBP and 10" is LBP, can I assume mine is a LBP and 10" drums. Are LBP available on 9" drums? thanks...

Measure before youorder,some A-bodys came with 11 in rear drums due to a vender shortage[/b]

There are no 9 inch LBP drums but there are SBP & LBP 10 inch rear drums.
The widths are different with the LBP rear drums being 10" x 2 1/2" wide.

I have to wait until outside temp gets above zero degrees to measure, I am sort of sure it is not 11". I think my dart may Canadian.

Doc;

Looks like a 10" drum, I know it is a LBP, since there are no LBP 9" drums.

thanks for replying.....Jerry

only on the 8 1/4" rear equipped cars, mostly the hi-po (340/360 cars)...I have yet to see a 7 1/4" car equipped with those monsters...(they would bolt on...)
